Louisville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. 5311 Dixie Hwy, Louisville, KY 40216. I took my truck into this dealership to have the airbags replaced due to a recall and to have a keyless entry remote programmed. The service tech told me it was going to take a day or two to get the airbags replaced and warned me about possibly breaking my dashboard (without replacement or reimbursement) due to the known cracking dashboards on this truck. I told them to be careful (as the dashboard was in pristine condition) and go ahead with the programming and airbag recall. This was my only ride as I live an hour away, and they did not have a courtesy car for me to use, so they ended up calling an Uber to get me home. A few hours later, I got a text from the service tech saying everything was done and I could come pick up the truck. I asked if everything was done, remote programmed and airbags replaced. They said no...The next day I tried to text the tech to get a ride back to the dealership but no one responded. I called the dealership multiple times and finally got ahold of a person who had no clue what was going on. They then told me that the tech went on vacation and reassigned my truck to another tech. They couldn’t get an Uber back to the dealership, so I ended up driving there with my wife. They gave me a report of the inspection that they did on the truck and it said that the battery terminals were OK even though it has a sheetrock screw holding it in place. On arrival, the truck looked like it wasn't touched. Cover screws still had dust on them and the driver airbag cover was the same. I called them out on it and they reassured me that it was indeed replaced and the driver airbag cover was reused. Many months later I got a Carfax report from this dealership and I looked at it to find out that I still have a passenger airbag recall on the truck. I got a letter also saying I should stop driving the truck because of the airbag recall.

Got in a accident and the airbags did not deploy
On 3/24/2022 my mother, Helen Mallazzo was involved in an accident in Queen Creek, Arizona. Police were called and a report was filed. When this accident occurred the seatbelts failed to restrain her and her dog and the airbags did not deploy, resulting in both of their heads hitting the windshield and leaving two large cracks in the windshield.
I tried to schedule with Landers jeep Chrysler Dodge in Little Rock, Arkansas to fix the airbag recall in my truck on two separate occasions in the first occasion I brought it in. They told me it would take four hours on the phone when I got it there they told me it may take a few days and they don’t even know if they have the parts for it and they told me to reschedule in the second time that I brought it in. The service manager told me he couldn’t service it right now.

Takata recall- immediately after receiving my recall notice, I called my local ram dealer. I was told that they were all out of parts, but I would be placed on a waitlist to have the airbag inflator replaced. I received this mailing close to a year ago, and still, no action has been taken to remedy the situation. If this recall were not something that affects safety, I would not be having a problem with the delay, but this has to do with passenger safety, and I am extremely frustrated that there still are not enough parts to have this recall fixed.

Takata recall. I have a notice that a recall is active on my vehicle. I called the dealer to have it resolved and they say that there are no parts to make the repairs and have no idea when any will be available. The recall states that if I am in a collision and my passenger air bag deploys, that my passenger can receive injury or even death from flying pieces of metal. How in the world can we be allowed to drive around in these possible death machines and nobody seems to be doing anyhting about it.?????
